<p>What's the best prep book or combination for USH?</p>
<p>i used kaplan and i relly liked it </p>
<p>but if u want to learn the key facts, events, and people get the sparknotes student pack thing it comes with 200 or 300 flashcards. it may seem like a lot but its really easy to memorize, it's just like if one of your teachers were quizzing you</p>
<p>i spent 30 minutes a day in the bathtub for a week and i got them down</p>
<p>i would get both, plus the sparknotes pack comes with a book full of sample tests and frq/dbqs</p>
<p>i hear AMSCO is BEST for a thorough review...apparently its very detailes...i hear the same for REA Ap US book....Amsco/REA are the best if you have time, but if you don't have time then PR is the most used book because its easy to read and has all the important info</p>
<p>Well, I had already taken the AP test using REA as review, which I thought covered the bases pretty well. When I studied for the SAT II test, I relied on what I remembered from REA and used the online SparkNotes guide as well as the Barrons USH book. </p>
<p>I really don't suggest Barrons, though. The tests are totally unrealistic and ridiculously hard. The only thing I liked about Barrons was that after the stuff about the Constitution, it started organizing its chapters by president so that I knew what happened under which president. It's good for reference, I guess.</p>
<p>I liked Princeton Review, I was easy to read and had some key facts that were mentioned word for word on test.</p>
<p>AMSCO+REA=you'll get a great score</p>
